Post by: AirBoss on January 09, 2002, 01:41:00 PM

..Ok..so, I'm doing escort duty in a 4 ship..
We come across 2 bandits 3 k low or so..the 3 friendlies seperate...Expecting the 2 bandits to seperate to do battle..
They didnt...#1's wingman stuck to him like glue..AND I MEAN tight!
(They werent bothering us so I continued watched the show in amasment)..Thats the best winging I've seen...They went on there way victors. Theres more to say but I keeped it short hehee)

If you can't find any good websites with wingman info, go to your book store and see if they have a copy of Robert Shaw's Fighter Combat: Tactics and Manuevering.

ISBN: 0870210599

It has excellent sections on wing/flight tactics as well as good BFM/ACM sections.  If you can find it in your local store, you can just read the sections you want in the store, but I recommend you pick up a copy if you're really interested in learning more about air combat.

Hi!

Read it well few times. Ask also your regular wingman read it too.
Go to TA and ask if some body likes fight 1vs2 for training purpose.
